But no, he’s not encouraging harassment.

Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) on Wednesday told activists at the National Conference on Ending Homelessness not to protest from the sidelines.
Booker said the way to get through to Congress is to “get up in the face of some congresspeople.” That call to action echoes his Democratic colleague Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) and others who have said Republican officials should face regular opposition in public.
“Before I end, that’s my call to action here. Please don’t just come here today and then go home,” Booker said. “Go to the Hill today. Get up and please get up in the face of some congresspeople.”
Booker’s rhetoric somewhat contrasts his insistence earlier this month that Americans “need to stop the bulls—t partisanship.” At an event about the economy, the senator said “opportunists on both sides” are sowing needless division.
